Zoho announced that it is open to supporting and serving customers of QuickBooks in India after Intuit’s QuickBooks announced its discontinuation from the Indian market effective April 30, 2023.
I’m in America . . . Why should I care about a QuickBooks announcement in India?
This is a good question since First Direct Corporation is doing business in the United States, rather than India. As I see it, the fact that QuickBooks is raising the flag of surrender to Zoho Books in a nation with so much business potential it is a testament to the success of Zoho as a company and Zoho Books as an accounting product. With QuickBooks giving up all of India, businesses in the USA may want to give Zoho Books a look. One of the obvious advantages of Zoho Books is that it is integrated with Zoho CRM!
Why Intuit Decided to Shut Down QuickBooks in India?
“Offering a product that our customers can depend on for their business is our top priority. After careful consideration, the decision was made that we can no longer continue to deliver and support QuickBooks products that serve the needs of small businesses and accounting professionals across India.”
For businesses, software migration from one vendor to another is a very complex and cumbersome process. The critical aspect of software migration is ensuring there’s no data loss and accuracy is maintained. With this unexpected move from Intuit, Zoho said it is open to supporting and serving Intuit’s QuickBooks customers in India. Zoho is fully prepared to help businesses in India switch to Zoho Books without any hassles.
Zoho Books in a tweet said:
“We are here to cater to your accounting needs and help you navigate through this new challenge,” said Prashant Ganti, Head of Products – Tax, Accounting & Payroll, Zoho.
